One of the three official Craigellachie bottlings released in 2014, the distillery's 13-year-old single malt Scotch whisky handsomely shows off the bold, robust character of the distillery's output. Think heaps of dynamic fruit notes with a distinctive current of smoke running through the middle. Single malt Craigellachie wasn't seen much outside of indie bottlings for a long time, and we don't take for granted how lovely it is to see Speysider thrive.

Apple orchards in bloom, slightly meaty, burnt popcorn, treacle tart.
Oily malt arrives first, followed by BBQ pineapple and summer berries. Pine nuts and almonds.
A very soft hint of sulphur hides behind biscuit and apple notes.

A complex whiskey that takes you on a bit of a Journey each time you pour yourself a dram. Wonderfull stuff.
Clever old fashion packing is a great marketing trick, even in a price of the taste.
So I saw all the great reviews on this whisky and figured I should get some for myself and it is an excellent and very unique speysider indeed. Fruity with lots of charred oak and honey fading to a dry herbal/floral finish not really sure what to compare it to but considering I've been drinking a lot of sherried speysides lately this is great for a change would highly recommend this, a good example of old school scotch.

Has a banana nose at first. The flavor really comes out with 1/3 water. Very long finish.
I'm not going to get nuanced on this: it's a good no-nonsense dram that you will not be disappointed with. I like the packaging and the bottle too. Pick up the bottle, hold it for a while, smile, let the expectations build, then tuck into a fine snifter.
